Escape Sequence in C programming

By
      Certain nonprinting character, as well as the backslash (\) and apostrophe (`), can be expressed in terms of escape sequences. An escape sequence always begins with a backslash and is followed by one or more special characters. For example, a linefeed (LF), this is referred to as a newline in C, can be represented as ln. Such escape sequences always represent single characters, even though they are written in terms of two or more characters. The commonly used escape sequences are listed below:
Character                   Escape Sequence                   ASCII Value
bell (alest)                               \a                                             007
backspace                                \b                                             008
horizontal tab                          \t                                             009
vertical tab                              \v                                             011
newline (line feed)                  \n                                            010
form feed                                \f                                              012
carriage return                         \r                                              013
quotation mark (”)                  \”                                             034
apostrophe (`)                          \`                                              039
question mark (?)                    \?                                            063
backslash (\)                            \\                                             092
null                                          \0                                             000

Several character constants are expressed in terms of escape sequences are
‘\n’      ‘\t’       ‘\b’      ‘\’’       ‘\\’      ‘\’’’
The last three escape sequences represent an apostrophe, backslash and a quotation mark respectively.
Escape Sequence ‘\0’ represents the null character (ASCII 000), which is used to indicate the end of a string. The null character constant ‘\0’ is not equivalent to the character constant ‘0’.
The general form ‘\000’ represents an octal digit (0 through 7). The general form of a hexadecimal escape sequence is \xhh, where each h represents a hexadecimal digit (0 through 9 and a through f).

Object Oriented Programming

By
Object Oriented Programming Programming paradigm that represents the concept of "objects" that have data fields (attributes that describe the object) and associated procedures known as methods Programming methodology based on objects, instead of just functions and procedures Focuses on data rather than process As individual objects can be modified without affecting other aspects of the program, it is easier for programmers to structure and organize software programs Easier to update and change programs written in object-oriented languages Simula was the first object oriented programming language Eg: C++, Java, etc. Features of OOPS Objects Referred as instance of class Basic run-time entities in an object-oriented system a person, a place, a bank account, a table of data, etc can be an object They occupy space in memory that keeps its state  Each object contains data and code to manipulate the data  Classes Blue print or prototype  which ...

Passing arrays to functions in C programming

By
Like any other variables, we can also pass entire array to a function. An array name can be named as an argument for the prototype declaration and in function header. When we call the function no need to subscript or square brackets. When we pass array that pass as a call by reference because the array name is address for that array. /* Program to illustrate passing array to function */ #include<stdio.h> void display(int) ; /* function prototype */ main( ) { int num[5] = {100, 20, 40, 15, 33, i ; clrscr( ) ; printf (“\n The content of array is \n”) ; for (i=0; i<5; i++) display (num[i]) ; /*Pass array element fo fun */ getch{ } ; } void display(int n) { printf (“\t%d”, n ) ; } Output:     The content of array is 100      20       40       15 3 /* Program to read 10 numbers from keyboard to store these num into array and then c...

Software Development Life Cycle

By
Software Crisis In earlier days, same codes needed to be written time and again increasing the complexity and time required for development This resulted in software not being completed on time and the cost increased than expected Solution: Object Oriented Programming Software Evolution Investigation Feasibility Study Analysis Design Implementation Maintenance Investigation First step in preparation of the IS includes the preliminary study of proposed information system investigates the information needs of the users and determines the resource requirement, costs, benefits and feasibility of a proposed project 2. Feasibility Study feasibility study is an analysis of the practicality of an idea focuses on helping answer the essential question of “should we proceed with the proposed project idea?” The feasibility study is conducted in four different areas: 1. Organizational feasibility 2. Economic feasibility 3. Technical feasibility 4. Operation...
